Title: Preparation of biaryl or aryl-heteroaryl compounds using biarylzinc derivatives
Inventor: IGNATYEV NIKOLAI MYKOLA
IPC: C07C253/30
Filed: 2011-12-09
Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the preparation of biaryl or arylÂ­-heteroaryl compounds, particularly 2-cyano-4   -methylbiphenyl, by homogeneously catalyzed reaction of biarylzinc derivatives with aryl chlorides or heteroaryl chlorides in the presence of a Ni(0)- or a Ni(II)- catalyst in an ionic liquid medium, a mixture of an ionic liquid medium and an organic solvent or an organic solvent comprising a lithium salt. The preferred biarylzinc is 4,4   -bitolylzinc (which may be generated from 4-tolylmagnesium chloride and zinc chloride or by in situ reaction of 4-chlorotoluene with lithium followed by reaction with zinc chloride) and reacted with 2-chlorobenzonitrile to afford 2-cyano-4   -methylbiphenyl. The preferred lithium salt is lithium chloride with the preferred organic solvent being tetrahydrofuran (THF). The preferred ionic liquid is N-butyl-N-methylpyrrolidinium triflate. The catalyst used for the coupling reaction is preferably Ni(PPh3)2Cl2 or NiCl2with two equivalents of triphenylphosphine. The preparation of 2-(4   -tolyl)benzoxazole and 2-(4   -tolyl)benzothiazole is also exemplified.

Title: Deactivating resource blokes to mitigate in-device co-existence interference
Inventor: KAUKOVUORI JOUNI KRISTIAN
IPC: H04W72/08
Filed: 2012-03-23
Abstract: Mechanisms for controlling communications conducted in multiple frequency bands so as to decrease an interference level between the communications. When an interference situation caused between an Up Link, UL, communication performed on at least one frequency band and a Down Link, DL, communication performed on another frequency band is determined, a partial denial processing is conducted so as to deactivate a dedicated part of resource blocks used for the first communication on the at least one frequency band of the first communication in the case of an interference situation being determined. The first communication is then continued in parallel to the second communication, on the basis of resources different from the dedicated part of resource blocks deactivated in the partial denial processing. Interference may be caused by overlapping or close frequency spectra, by Inter-modulation distortion or by harmonic distortion. The first UL communication may be over a 3GPP Long Term Evolution, LTE, network, whilst the second DL communication may be over an IMS band, such as over WiFi/WLAN or Bluetooth, or on a GNSS network, such as GPS. A network control element, e.g. an eNodeB, may assist or mainly control measures to mitigate or avoid in-device co-existence interference by receiving and processing an interference report (figure 5b).

Title: Connection assembly for through tubing conveyed submersible pumps
Inventor: TETZLAFF STEVEN K
IPC: E21B43/12
Filed: 2011-11-18
Abstract: An electrical submersible pumping (ESP) system for use in a wellbore that can be assembled in the wellbore. Upper and lower pump tandems are fitted with connectors that align the tandems when coupled in the wellbore. The connectors on the lower tandems have bores with enlarged openings on upward facing surfaces. Downward pointing pins are on lower facing surfaces of the connectors on the upper tandems. The cross sectional area of each bore decreases with distance away from the openings, so that as the pins insert into the bores the pins move along a helical path that in turn rotates the upper tandem into a designated azimuth and into alignment with the lower tandem. Properly aligning the upper and lower tandems couples respective drive and driven shafts in the tandems as the upper tandem lands on the lower tandem.

Title: Sensor module with adaptive backing layer
Inventor: SKOGLUND ESKIL
IPC: G06K7/02
Filed: 2013-08-23
Abstract: The invention consists of an ultrasound scanning apparatus which has receiver 204 and transmitter 203 circuits that are flexible. The flexible circuits are depressed by the contours on the surface of the object to be scanned. Behind the circuits, inside the casing, is an adaptable backing 206, which conforms to the circuits as they are pressed upon so as to prevent damage to them. The invention may also include a dry coupled layer 201, which is depressed by the contours of the object being scanned, subsequently depressing the flexible circuits. An independent claim is also included for an ultrasound scanner which scans to particular depths. It has a dry coupled contact layer 201, which is in contact with objects when scanning. This layer acts as a transmission layer for the ultrasonic pulse, and is of sufficient depth so as to allow detection of main reflected pulse, without detecting reflection of secondary pulses.

Title: Distribution of High Definition Signal using Coaxial Cables
Inventor: STAFFORD GARY
IPC: H04H20/08
Filed: 2013-12-03
Abstract: The invention relates to the distribution of high definition video and audio signals using a coaxial cable network. Broadcast data is received and passed through an intermediate frequency (IF) diplexer. A first coaxial cable leads from the diplexer to a first set of processing apparatus which includes a broadcast data receiver (such as a settop box or digital television set.) The broadcast data receiver has a HDMI (RTM) output to a HDMI (RTM) transmitter that transmits data back along the coaxial cable to the IF diplexer where it is passed via a second coaxial cable to one or more further sets of processing apparatus that include a HDMI (RTM) receiver. The data passed from the first set of processing apparatus is then made available for consumption at the second set of processing apparatus. The apparatus may be located at a domestic or commercial property and is designed to allow the distribution of high definition data using a coaxial cable network in a reliable manner via a plurality of diplexer apparatus.

Title: Data staging area
Inventor: BURKA PETER
IPC: G06F12/02
Filed: 2013-01-23
Abstract: An illustrative embodiment of a computer-implemented process for managing a staging area creates the staging area for identified candidate cold objects, moves the identified candidate objects into the staging area, tracks application access to memory comprising the staging area and determines whether frequency of use information for a specific object exceeds a predetermined threshold. Responsive to a determination that the frequency of use information for the specific object exceeds a predetermined threshold, move the specific object into a regular area and determine whether a current time exceeds a predetermined threshold. Responsive to a determination that the current time exceeds a predetermined threshold, the computer- implemented process moves remaining objects from the staging area to a cold area.

Title: Induction to heat thermal storage boilers, hot water cylinders and flow boilers
Inventor: MACPHAIL NICHOLAS JULIAN JAN FRANCIS
IPC: H05B6/10
Filed: 2014-09-16
Abstract: A thermal storage boiler/combi boiler 1 or a domestic hot water cylinder la or flow boiler 2 is supplied with heat by an induction coil 3 that, by creating eddy currents in the metal wall of the store/cylinder/flow boiler, heats their fluid contents. As the induction coil/s are mounted on the outside of the store/cylinder/flow boiler it/they can be easily replaced or serviced without the need for time consuming cooling and draining down with attendant waste of heated water. As the induction coil's temperature typically only reaches ten to twenty degrees higher than the heated fluid the induction coil remains far cooler than would a resistance immersion heater which will 'burn out' over time.

Title: Mobile communications
Inventor: RUTH BROWN
IPC: H04W36/36
Filed: 2015-12-22
Abstract: When a cell reselection update is in progress, the frequencies available locally to a mobile communications terminal 6 are identified in a prioritised neighbour list received from the currently-serving base station and each frequency is tested in turn to determine whether a re-attachment should be made to a cell other than the cell currently serving the mobile terminal. The mobile communications terminal 6 maintains a permitted frequency data store 42 of a mapping of frequencies to the geographical areas in which the frequencies are allocated to services to which the terminal is permitted to operate. Frequencies are only considered for re attachment if they are present in both the prioritised neighbour list and the permitted frequency data store 42 for the current location of the mobile terminal 6. The permitted frequency data list may be downloaded to the store over the RF interface or it may be installed as firmware on the mobile device itself or on a subscriber interface module.
